It was wonderful to come together for the Region 15 International Pep Rally on Tuesday evening, October 31 (all treats, no tricks!) to send all of these competitors off to the stage with our love and support.
 
This year’s competition really knocked our socks off! We were treated to some truly magnificent performances.
